Meredith Amadee Photography

We absolutely love working with Meredith, and I say love, present tense, because she did our engagement photos, wedding photos and I will be using her in the future. She is that good. Meredith is great to communicate with when you need to get dates and deadlines, and fun and goofy enough to keep us relaxed in front of the camera. She's the kind of person who makes you feel like a friend immediately and picks up the special candid moments for family and guests. We absolutely love the photographs, the color, and the moments she created.

Choosing Meredith as our engagement and wedding photographer was the best decision we made when wedding planning! It was also a very easy decision because Meredith’s professionalism, expertise, warmth, and energy were evident immediately during our initial phone consultation. We asked Meredith to take our engagement pictures prior to our wedding, which was perfect for getting more comfortable in front of the camera. The engagement pictures will always be something we treasure because of the phase of our lives that those photos represent. Fast forward to the wedding: Meredith was an absolute dream to work with! Prior to the wedding, she offered great advice and answered our questions about the timeline of the day and logistics/set-up in the backyard where we hosted the wedding. On the wedding day, she was wildly efficient, especially for the large group family photos and the wedding party photos, but she also was patient when providing time and space for the special moments that occurred throughout the day. Her kindness and warmth make her feel like a cool friend that’s joining in on the festivities. We received numerous comments from wedding guests about what an amazing vendor Meredith was on wedding day! Everybody enjoyed their interactions with her and also commented on how professional she was during group photos. We are overjoyed with the pictures that Meredith delivered! First, she surprised us with a sneak peek the week after the wedding. I assumed the sneak peek would have a handful of photos of us as a couple, but there were a few dozen pictures that highlighted different parts of our day! Such a treat! We received our full gallery six weeks after the wedding, and we were absolutely thrilled with the pictures. The group family photos and wedding party photos will archive and celebrate the most important people who celebrated our day with us, and Meredith posed our big groups and got us all looking our best for these shots! The pictures she got of us as the bride and groom are incredible, and it’s been impossible to pick the favorite pictures to print for our wall because there are so many great pictures! Meredith snapped a great picture of my husband laughing at the camera when he was taking his groom portrait – no easy feat because he doesn’t love the camera - and it’s a picture I’ll treasure forever! My favorite pictures that Meredith took during the wedding day were moments when we were interacting organically with our guests during the receiving line and during cocktail hour. Being able to re-live the celebration by viewing the photos of our family and friends who were so eager to congratulate us is the best gift. Thank you, Meredith, for sharing your kindness and photography talents with Arizona brides & grooms!

Always amazing to work with. Meredith made sure we were comfortable the entire time and gave clear directions to ensure we got the best photos. Prior to our wedding, we met to discuss the different groupings we wanted for family photos and she addressed all concerns we had. While we haven’t received all our photos yet, the preview photos that have been supplied are gorgeous. Can’t wait to see the rest!

I work at a hotel that does many events and I discovered Meredith via social media when I was looking to expand for vendors for the property. She gained my attention immediately as I felt she her work seemed effortless, creative and just vibrant. From just her social media I felt that she was able to communicate through her photography without speaking with her directly- you see her passion and see you how happy the clients are in the shots. From the beginning I knew I wanted to work with Meredith for my work events and at some point utilize her for my own photography needs. I graduated from NAU this April so this was my opportunity to work with Meredith. I reached out to her a month before my shoot (wedding season for both of us) and she was very flexible with me on such short notice. She is very thorough and she is very easy to talk to with a quick response time. She gave me some location suggestions and had sent some recent shoots in a similar area. She asked for some favorite songs to be more relaxed during my shoot and created an entire playlist based on the music I provided. In addition, she shows you how to move and how to pose (May sound goofy but I really appreciated it because I am so awkward and camera shy.) Meredith is all about making sure you are relaxed, comfortable, and that you are having fun! All of my photos came out so colorful and just beautiful. From smooth communication, being easily accessible, great suggestions, and getting gorgeous photos on quick turnaround time - she is just fabulous. Do not hesitate to contact Meredith- her talent, artistic vision, and personality are just beyond what you could possible ask for. You will not be disappointed booking! 😊

We absolutely loved working with Meredith! Her friendly and bubbly personality as well as love for color was much appreciated for our wedding photos. We had a larger wedding party (7 on each side) and she did a great job getting the group as well as family through tons of photos even before the ceremony. My bridesmaids and I loved her energy and ability to get us all excited and feeling beautiful for all the different photos we planned. My husband and I wanted to go out into the desert behind our venue for some additional photos and Meredith was still so nice even with cholla getting stuck to her ankles. Cholla are the worst. I’d recommend Meredith again and again!

I’m so glad we met Meredith at a local vendor event in early 2020! We loved how bright and fun her portfolio looked, saying, “we want our wedding to look like this”. She was so fun to work with from our engagement shoot to the day of our wedding. We’re so happy with our photos and how she helped us tell our story. Meredith did an amazing job of capturing those that we love, our love for Tucson, and our love for each other.

Meredith photographed our wedding on 12/20/2020 in Tucson. I can’t express enough that hiring Meredith as our photographer was one of the best decisions of our wedding. She captured the entire day beautifully. When we received our full album of pictures I was shocked with the color and the light of the desert that she was able to capture. She is an absolute joy to work with and very professional. Before my wedding I was worried that I would be distracted by a photographer during the ceremony or first look but I seriously don’t even remember her being there and of course she was able to take some amazing photos during those times. Meredith exceeded our expectations beyond imagine and I will always recommend her!

We hired Meredith as our photographer for our intimate wedding on 10/10 and we could not be more pleased with our experience. Meredith is professional, kind, talented, and FUN. She went above and beyond to capture absolutely stunning photos. From the beginning she worked closely with us to develop a timeline and was extremely flexible and supportive when our location changed due to fires on Mt Lemmon. When our officiant was late, Meredith acted quickly to adjust her timeline so that we did not lose any of our time with her. In the end we have the most beautiful photos that capture the love and joy of our day. Meredith's talent for capturing gorgeous candid images and documenting special moments in a way that is not posed or forced sets her apart from a typical photographer. We will absolutely be booking Meredith in the future to capture future milestones for our family.

Meredith is something special. When searching for the right photographer, I knew I needed someone who could go above and beyond the pretty filtered instagram shot and capture the true feeling and emotion of our wedding day. She has an innate ability to connect with others and make them feel comfortable, which lends itself to capturing truly authentic moments. Throughout the planning process, Meredith was extremely responsive by email, text, and ig messages. We had multiple conversations leading up to the wedding day where we were able to form a real connection and understanding of what I wanted. On the day of the wedding, Meredith arrived early and directed our bridal party and large family group shots with ease. She was efficient with the timeline, keeping us on track, and used every second of her time to capture all the extra little details. Our family and guests kept commenting on how much they loved her energy, it was like she was another member of the family and party! When we got our previews within one week, we were THRILLED! The light, the composition, the happiness that she shot was perfection. I couldn’t be more obsessed with our photos. And her online gallery portal is super convenient to share with others and you can buy high quality prints directly from there for very affordable prices. From beginning to end, working with Meredith was the easiest and best part of the whole wedding process and I can’t thank her enough!

Meredith photographed our February wedding in Mesa, AZ and we are absolutely blown away by her talent. Meredith always shows up with a professional and upbeat attitude, and mingles perfectly with anyone she meets. For pre ceremony and cocktail hour, Meredith created an organized and timely schedule for family and bridal party photos, so there was no guessing where everyone needed to be. Even when we fell a tad behind schedule, we felt no pressure or stress on Mer’s end which helped us stay calm and relaxed. Our guests told us that during the ceremony, Meredith was a complete wallflower, capturing all the right angles without invasiveness or getting in anyone’s way. We chose to spend minimal time on staged photos so we could maximize our time connecting with our guests, dancing, and soaking in every moment. She respected our vision every step of the way. During the reception, Mer was out on the dance floor the whole time, grooving with all the guests and getting the coolest long exposure shots. She even stopped to scream the lyrics to Mr. Brightside with us, and ditched her camera completely when we played a Ludacris song in her honor. We feel blessed to have worked with someone so fun and laid back. We were delighted to receive several preview shots just a few DAYS after our wedding. It was a blissful feeling to be able to share professional shots with coworkers and loved ones almost immediately after our big day, especially since we chose to have an unplugged ceremony. We are extremely impressed by her turnaround time (4-6 weeks!), since we have heard of other businesses taking up to 8 months to release full galleries. Meredith’s ability to capture tender, candid moments is truly breathtaking. She truly is a lover of light and color, and has an eye for the most creative and unexpected backdrops. We HIGHLY recommend Meredith to anyone who is looking for authentic and stunning wedding, engagement, lifestyle, or portrait photography. You will not be disappointed. -Amanda and Marcus Wedding date: 02/23/19

Meredith was wonderful! She caught the precious moments of the wedding and showcased their magic. We have so many beautiful pictures of our guests and their joy. My husband and I couldn't pick just one picture to print that encapsulated the day, there were so many that showed the joy, excitement, and laughter. Meredith was so professional, worked with us through the planning process to make sure that we would have all the pictures we wanted, and helped us figure out how to prioritize the photographs. We could not be more pleased with the work she did. I would highly recommend Meredith to be your photographer.

Meredith is amazing! Working with her was so comfortable. I am not super comfortable posing for pictures normally, but she made the photo session about our story and kept it fun and relaxed, while also being incredibly professional. She has an amazing eye for photo composition and the light and color she captures is breathtaking. If you want a photographer who will beautifully and thoughtfully capture your story, she's your gal!

My husband and I had a photography session with Meredith to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary and it was honestly the best photography experience we have ever had. She chose one of the most beautiful desert landscapes and captured both our love and the beauty of the desert around us so perfectly. She has an incredible eye for the perfect spots to photograph and the best lighting for each shot. Meredith made us feel so comfortable and natural during the entire session. It felt like one of our closest friends was taking our photos. She wanted to get to know both my husband and I personally so that she could tell our story. Meredith is so sweet, kind, personable and bubbly. Yet, she is also laid back and just wants to capture the moment, not force us into uncomfortable forced poses that look awkward. We were able to just be ourselves around her. She captured very natural photos of my husband and I that are full of joy and celebration and we are so happy with the results! Meredith is a wonderful woman and an incredible photographer and I would recommend her to anyone!

Meredith is a treasure! She has taken photographs for me at several important times in my life, including my law school graduation and my engagement photos. Her bright and friendly personality make her so incredibly delightful to work with, and she makes all nerves of being in front of the camera disappear instantly. Her photos are always of outstanding quality, and she delivers a vast array of shots in different poses and angles so that I never feel like I wish I had more shots. She also delivers her work in a professional and timely manner. Further, Meredith is very professional. She always shows up early to shoots and is true to her word. I have and will continue to recommend Meredith to all my friends in need of professional photography, and plan on continuing to use her in the future! Thanks for your great work and dedication to your craft, Meredith!

Meredith is a ball o' light and love. She gives direction AND knows how to stand back and capture the action and candid stuff. She appreciates emotion, see the surrounding, loves color and energy and captures those well! We are so grateful to have had her artistic eye and flare be on our walls and part of our heirlooms!

Meredith shot my fiancé and I’s engagement session in Feb 2018. As soon as I met Meredith, it was like I had known her for years. She had such a warm, welcoming attitude and my fiancé and I immediately felt comfortable. She had a great eye for inviting backdrops throughout the park, and then gave us space to create loving, candid moments. In between shots she genuinely wanted to get to know us as people and hear our love story. Before and after the shoot, Meredith facilitated quick and thorough communication via email, and we got our finished portfolio sooner than expected! We are extremely satisfied with Meredith’s work and have already booked her for our wedding in Feb 2019. Hire her and you will not be disappointed!

I could not recommend Meredith enough! We had her do our engagement photos and they came out SO much better than we thought. My husband and I are naturally awkward with photos, but Meredith put us at ease! She has one of the brightest personalities I've ever seen and is beautiful down to her soul! And that's also what reflects in her work. What I love most about her photography is the fact that she aims to capture real life and the beauty of important and simple moments alike. Her style also reflects the bright magic of the desert that I absolutely love! Please put her at the top of your list when considering photographers! I promise you will not be disappointed and her work will be an everlasting treasure!

Meredith has such a special and trained eye for couples photography. She captures all the moments you want to remember that go by way too quickly in order to be properly appreciated on your wedding day. In addition to having an eye for this, Meredith is a person that genuinely appreciates strong relationships, nature, and beauty in small things - to name a few. Those lovely qualities cannot be separated from her photography and serves to influence her craft. You will never be disappointed with her work!

I have known Meredith for a long time and have watched her grow as a photographer, so there was no question in selecting a photographer for our wedding. Meredith took the time to ensure we got the photos we wanted and completely customized to our taste and feel of our wedding. I'm a big fan of candid pictures, and I now have plenty! You will not be let down at all!

Choosing Meredith to photograph our wedding is a decision we are overjoyed to live with for the rest of our married lives. She did every moment of our wedding justice, entering into our story and the beauty of even the smallest detail of the day. Meredith has a special gift of becoming one with the celebration, becoming invisible when capturing sacred moments yet making the photoshoot parts fun and exciting. For these and many other countless reasons I would highly recommend her to capture your love too!

Having a photographer that matches your style is vital. For us, Meredith was the perfect fit! Her ability to capture moments - the laughs, the tears, and the crazy dance moves - is astounding. Something we looked for in a photographer was someone who could capture candids (and of course the family portraits and such). Throughout the wedding Meredith was great about being in the background when needed, as well as knowing when to step up and direct family to their spots. Her overall happy attitude, sense of humor, and talent made for the perfect wedding day photographer. I highly recommend Meredith for anyone looking to have all the magical, in-between moments captured! - Miko & Scott
